This element stabilizes the seat finish, protects its structure from accidental impacts from the legs of passengers, and improves the overall aesthetics of the interior.

Thanks to its well-thought-out geometry and fitment to factory mounting points, the cover works in harmony with the upholstery and side elements of the seat, creating a cohesive and visually organized seating module.
